When I Lay Me Down to Weep

When I lay me down to weep
I see the world I want to keep
I close my eyes and see within
A microcosm steeped in sin
Insistent pressure plucks at me
ignoring my internal plea
Dear God will you let me be?

There's a black hole in my head
It's absorbing all my soul
I sink, expand and dissipate
I surrender fully to my fate
I'm losing all control
I'm losing all control

When I awake and look around
A new beginning has been found
My life, my face all looks the same
My inner turmoil still remains
A difference tho, has been observed
I comprehend what I deserve

There's a black hole in my head
It's absorbing all my soul
I sink, expand and dissipate
I surrender fully to my fate
I've let go of control
I've let go of control

When I laid me down to weep
I saw the world I meant to keep
You look at me and do not see
The force that I intend to be
My plans engender happenings
Careful cautious conjurings
Far away imaginings
The me that becomes me

There's a black hole in my head
It's absorbing all my soul
I sink, expand and dissipate
I surrender fully to my fate
I took back my control
I took back my control

I took back my control
